"Apparently a ‘confirmed booking’ here means a six-hour trip just to be told ‘we don’t take one-nighters’—how thoughtful.
Avoid – Unprofessional and Unreliable
I booked this hotel last minute and had a confirmed reservation. After travelling six hours to get there, I tried calling multiple times (over five attempts) for directions—no answer. Finally, just 10 minutes away, someone picked up only to tell me they don’t accept one-night stays, despite my confirmed booking. No apology, no effort to...

"Personnel aimable. Chambre propre avec serviettes de toilette. Le plus : la petite cuisine commune et la piscine. Le moins: avoir un ronfleur dans la chambre en face ! 😁. Mais l'ensemble est très correct. Je recommande."

It is what it is 2* Hotel. However, staff excellent, cafe good selection of tapas, menu covers all tastes, lots if locals frequent which endorses good quality food at reasonable prices. There is an outdoor plunge pool with a bar and is a good area to cool off. The rooms are small but functional. All in all you get great valve for your money for a 2* hotel. Would I stay again, YES.... its better than some 3-4* hotels in the area.

Room was very clean. It’s a ground floor apartment and can be a little noisy sometimes when people come in and out of the apartment block. The apartment is located a minute away from the Roman ampitheatre . 5min walk to the harbour front, shops and restaurants. There’s no view as it faces onto the street. Room facilities were good with the exception of the shower which we found difficult to regulate the temperature.

They got the parking for us on the day very helpful, Room was cleaned and cleaning staff also helpful when we asked for towels for five of us, overall you get what you pay for great value for money and central location (also there’s a sharwama spot right across from the front door of the apartment and it’s so good haha)
